VowinokeI Comes TO the Front.

VowINcKEL, Jan. "a, 1887.
There are probably few people into
whose hands these items Of interest
shall fall who have not picked up from
other papers general knowledge Of
Vowinckel, small town in Clarion
CO., on the P. Il. and w. r. R., ia
nous for its numbering. Nature has
no where been mere lavish of her
wealth than in our village. There are
withiD the limits of our town 3 stave
mile, 2 saw mills, 2 shingle mills, and
one meat market, and here things
have not the DID,. faded, tumble down,
and worn appearance that you End in
many places. Every thing here looks
bright, new, and clean; and instead Of
Stsgnation and decay, wo have life,
energy, and activity, and this embryo
town of Vowinckel with its broad
streets, we'll furnished houses, many
new structures, and the constant mu.
SIC of tho carpenters hammer and saw
coupled with the ring of the mason's
trowel, tell the story of progress and
prosperity far better than my pen can
tell it. Our village has becnme known
as one of the best IN the world, steady,
equable, and invigorating, and our
people as Interested in schools aud
churches to a great degree. The spir.
it of improvement is manifest on every
hand. Within the past year one Of
the finest buildings in this section has
been built by Frank McCloskey at a
cost of $1,000. The firm of Frank
Kaufman has an immense merchan-
disc establishment. in building part
of which is fitted up for theatre and
other public entertainments. Good
taste aud all the modern improve.
ments characterize the erection of bus.
iness blocks, and laudable rivalry as
to Deatness of design seems to possess
the proprietor of each new build.
ing. Yowinckel is a town with all
the numerous resources that nature
brings TO aid in the development of
superior civilization, a town rich in
all possibilities aud endowed with all
the natural requisites TO make it
wealthy and prosperous, healthy eli
mate, abundance Of good water, and
pleasing landscape.

Canon Kissed by the Rowdies at West
mInster-The Holy Place Made the
scene of a Disgraeeful TumuIt.

DUBLIN, October 23.-Placards were
posted in Woodford, County Galway, this
morning, summoning an indignation
meeting, under the auspices of the British
Home Rule Union. Sir Wilfred Blunt,
the well known philanthropist and bene-
factor of Arsbi Pasha, who was formerly
q conservative, but is now a Home-ruler,
was announced 10 preside, supported by
Mr.. R0wlan6S and other English members
of Parliament. The meeting was pro.
claimed by the Government, and rein
forcements OF police and troops arrived in
the morning and paraded the streets.
Thousands of persons focked into the
town. A platform was erected in a field
behind the main street.
Whe the speakers mounted the platform
Divisional Magistrate Byrne forbade Blunt
TO hold the meeting. Blunt defed the
magistrate, and the police were ordered to
seized Blunt and, although he violently
resisted, threw him from the platform.
Blunt returned to the platform and was
again thrown of. Then, pale and breath
less, be shouted: "Are you such damned
towards that your dare not arrest me?
The district inspector replied, 81 arrest
you," whereupon Blnnt was seized and
marched off under escort, his wife follow
ing. The police charged upon the crowd
that followed and injured many persons,
Mr.. ROwlands asked for three cheers for
Blunt which were given heartily. The
crowd was kept back by fusillers.
Blunt was brought before two magis-
trates and on refusing to promise to re-
frain from anticipating in meetings he
wss retained in custody. Blunt and an
other prisoner were conveyed to Loughrea
Jail this evening. During the row constable
Conner refused to obey the order to charge
the crowd, and threw down his baton. He
was arrested.
Two meetings were afterward held on the
outskirts OF the town, at which the arrest
OF Blunt was denounced. This morning
before the meeting, Blunt handed to Mag
istTate Byrne a written protest against the
Government action in proclaimlng the
meeting. Later Inspector Murphy visited
Blunt and informed him thai no meeting
would be allowed.
After the struggle on the platform, Lady
Blunt tainted and lay on the grass uncon-
sclous for some time. Mrs. Rowlands and
several reporters also suffered in
the scuffie. Rev. Mr.. Pagan was
arrested but was afterwards re-
leased. Mr.. Roche, poor law guardian,
was arrested for assaulting the police.
and refused to leave him. Blunt, when
asked whether he would give bail, replied
that as an EDglshman he believed that
the whole action of the police was illegal,
and he would rather be imprisoned than
give pledge to representatives of the
Tory government.

Horses on slippery Roads,

The method OF shoeing horses for slip.
perry roads, introduced by DR.. Fleming,
the principal veterinarian to the British
forces, is as follows: 1t consists merely of
an ordinary shoe, in which four no les are
punched, and in these holes pegs with
pyram1dal head can be put in few sec
onds. In the machine.msde shoes, used
by the army, round holes are drilled in
the process of manufacture, and the pegs
are round ones, made of cast steel. Square
pegs are equally effective. The 4th Hus.
sars reported the experiment as great
success. THE cogs (pegs) are easily put
in and taken out very few have been lost,
and none need be If they are carefully put
in. They are also easily sharpened when
worn down, and they last WELL" The
horses so shod travelled on the ice and
snow-covered roads nearly every dsy with
out accident and with absolute safety; the
men putting in the pegs, on leaving the
stables and taking them out, on returning
to the barracks, without the Intervention
on the farrier. The method is so inexpen-
sive that for few pence a horse can travel
securely at any pace on ice fo= month,
and it is 30 simple and readily spplied that
the horses OF a whole srmy can be pre-
ssred for marching on the most slippery
roads in half an hour.

In A.state of Terror.

Rio GRANDE CRY, Texas, October "a
Starr County, along the border of Mexico,
is in state of terror. Mexican bandits
ride in gangs through the streets OF this
and other neighboring towns at night, and
officers of the law dare not show them
selves. Saturday party of bandits came
to town and mailed two letters at the post
Office, one 10 Manuel Guerro, of Roma, and
the other to Senor Donscino Garcina, OF
this place, notifying them that unless
they Immediately raised $4,000 and S.
600 respectively, for the bandits, their
stores would be blown to atoms with dy-
Mantle. Gov. Ross has been appealed to
for protection, but thus far no response
has been received. The United States
cavalry located at Ringgold Barracks near
here, are of no service, because o. the
Official red tape necessary to move troops
from the barracks on short notice. Before
the order from headquarters could arrive
the town might be sacked and the bandits
safe in Mexico. Stage travel in this sec
ton is at present dangerous.

Interstate Commerce Troubls.

WASHINGTON, October 24.-Three more
complaints from George Rice, of Marietta,
Ohio, against the Standard Oil Company
have been received to-day by the Inter
State Commerce Commission, making thir-
teen in all. The Commission had u hear
ing to-day. Tomorrow it will near argu-
ments respecting the liability OF express
companies under the Interstate Commerce
law. a communication has been received
bv the Commission signed in behalf OF
fourteen commercial associations OF Bos-
ton, sntagonizing the project of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce, which claims that
the practice of allowing an export rebate
upon -four, grain provisions and produce
shipped from the West via Boston to for
eign ports is an unjust discrimination
against local consumers and seeks to have
the practice stopped. The communication
says:
While We are earnestly In favor OF the effort
to secure q revision of the excessive difference
in the local rates now charged to Boston from
Buffalo snd points West over the rate charged
TO New York, which is more than double what
a fair allowance for the difference OF distance
JuStihes, we deem the difference now charged
unjust and Illegal and not in accordance with
the meaning OF the Interstate law. We view
with apprehension any change which would
chandise shipped by way of Boston than is paid
upon like shipments via New York, as any
greater charge would practically ruin our ex-
port trade both foreign and coastwise, and
would seriously interfere with the commercial
interests of our citv.

Pretty Yarn All the Same.

FoRT SMITH, Ark, October 24.-Toe re-
ported fight between vigilantes and out
laws near WewOka, Indian Territory, last
Thursday, is proved to be absolutely false
Ex-chief Bushy head, of the Cherokee Ma
ton, says no such persons as those named
in the dispatches ever lived in the Chero-
kee nation, and persons who left Wewoka
last Saturday say, Trainor the alleged
leader of the outlaws, was living there
quietly and that no fight had taken place.
Trouble is expected in the Cherokee na-
tlon, however, over the late election for
chief, and efforts are being made by the
weaker party to get United States troops
there, and the impression is being made
that trouble already exists. Everything
was Quiet in the territory at the last ac-
counts. Serious political trouble is brew
ing and conflict may occur at Tahlequah,
the capitol of the Cherokee nation, when
the National council meets two weeks
hence and the result of the election is
officially declared.

A Hard Fight for Life.

FRANKFORT, MICH, October 24.-At day
light this morning the Point Betsy life
station patrol discovered vessel anchored
about twelve miles northeast flying signals
of distress. A tug was sent from here and
the life saving crew launched the surf boat
TO meet the tug and be taken in tow, but
the high seas made il a perilous task
When the boat reached the outer bars a
tremendous breaker swept over her, break
ing the oars, capsizing her and throwing the
crew into the ice-cold water. They m ade
q desperate fight clinging to the submerged
craft and we're flung exhausted upon the
beach. After a long struggle the tug
reached the imperiled vessel and at dusk
had her in tow bound for South Manitou.
